The Confident Creative shows how the practice of drawing can unblock creativity and create confidence. Drawing brings us fully into the present moment where we connect with peace when we open to inspiration and creativity. Through the yogic technique of one-pointed focus, observing the mind and changing our energy to the positive, we learn to overcome creative blocks with ease and make quantum leaps in our art and lives. Other drawing books focus on the end product, this one focuses on how drawing can bring us into our true creative selves.
The Confident Creative offers a wealth of visual inspiration through many examples of art from professional artists who have pushed the boundaries of drawing into creative expression. These examples are in colour and will provide ideas for artistic exploration for practicing artists as well as beginners. Most drawing books are concerned with making literal observational drawings and not with creativity. The art in these books, mostly in black and white, reflects the principle goal of drawing in a realistic way. The Confident Creative takes drawing into the realm of personal exploration and expression.
The Confident Creative offers specific techniques for going deeper into creative expression through drawing. It shows how to draw in 3 different ways—Making Marks (to explore free and symbolic expression); Drawing What We See; and Drawing From Imagination. Most drawing books focus only on drawing what we see and do not go into the realm of creative expression— which is where we make art.
Using simple methods and yogic theory, this unique guide focuses on the art of drawing as a way to unblock creativity and create artistic confidence. Both practicing and beginning artists will learn to develop drawing skills, overcome creative blocks, and enter the meditative state in order to find creative connections and confidence. Featuring full-color examples from professional artists, three different drawing methods, and exercises tested and developed in the author’s own drawing class, this is an invaluable tool for artists, writers, musicians, and all who wish to access their creative strengths and live inspired, authentic lives.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 擁有創造力即意味著放鬆身心，進入自己內心的潛能境界之中，來運用“無窮的智慧”。 創造力是我們每個人都能擁有的天賦，有待於我們細細發掘。每個人都是擁有才華的生命個體，因為我們都能夠汲取相同的無盡之源。每個人都天生被賦予了這樣的厚禮。
從創造力出發，能擁有的是一片豐裕的心靈境地，不存在任何束縛。只有當我們從競爭的角度來考慮如何發揮創造力時，便會產生限制和短缺。
畫圖促使你從不同的角度觀察事物。譬如由Betty Edwards著的《像藝術家一樣思考》（Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain）的書，這本書是專門為那些從未受到過繪畫訓練的人撰寫的。從其中的深刻見解能學到很多東西。而本書對於藝術家、作家和音樂家或者是任何想培養創造力的人來說都是一筆無價的財富。(RY & CL)
